Complete replacement parts package including mushroom grommets, belt, bearings, level, mirror


Hi VD,

Saw that one ePay (intentional typo) before... There are 6 rubber grommets available for the motor. But for the "Mk1" you got, you'll only need to use 3. The MK.II with lighter platter uses 6 grommets. Congrats on your recent acquisition.

Hi VD,

If the seller sold some before he would know better... But here are some pointers you may already know:

The unit itself must be at least first wrapped in thick large bubblewrap then package-taped securely, especially if the seller cannot separate he main platter from the spindle and chassis; he may also apply the Clutch Bratke for the top aluminum platter. Then at least double box and fill with alot of "styro-popcorn".

Francis, that's a nice one you've got there. SME tonearm! Man I could imagine you swaying and disc spinning all night long with those spendor S 3/5s. It's been reported that spendors are very forgiving of the pops and small burst that you could hardly hear them.

Someone here in Cebu does not want to be outdone, he's been cleaning my records all night long playing on my sony dd turntable of twenty year ago. Full of cobwebs but working!

Looking for an AR X1 turnatable at ebay. All the vintage amps around with good phono stages, who wants to get caught without it!

LOve that nostagic look on that turntable. SME, wow! I'm green with envy!

And for his apetizer, he is using an old Sony turntable. :) He can't wait for his new turntable. :)
